We’re back! 300+ Youth Ambassadors. 10 Schools. 6 Youth Trainers.

School has resumed for another academic year so we’re continuing our DRASA Youth Ambassador program!

Onboarding new DRASA Ambassadors

Who are the DRASA Ambassadors?

All students who were selected to be members of the “DRASA Health and Hygiene Club” in their secondary schools are called DRASA Ambassadors.

What are we doing with the DRASA Ambassadors?

We’re training these youth through DRASA Health and Hygiene Clubs so they can influence and improve the health and hygiene conditions of their schools, homes, and wider communities.

We train them using interactive lessons and activities that cover such topics as:

• Personal hygiene
• Antimicrobial/antibiotic resistance
• Handwashing
• Food safety

Who are our Youth Trainers?

They are new members of the DRASA team who are implementing this Ambassador program in their assigned schools. They are all passionate about public health and our nation’s youth and because they have different backgrounds and come from different places, in the coming weeks we’ll introduce them through a series of blog posts called Humans of DRASA.

DRASA Team

We’re looking forward to a fun year ahead with these young leaders and our Youth Trainers! The program will run from September 2018 – June 2019 so stay tuned for updates.
